[Music] The Clash

[Uh_huh_him]

Just watched the Joe Strummer documentary on Prime this evening.
Complicated and massively flawed person, but a musical hero nonetheless

Probably my favourite but so many to choose from.

That is just bizarre even by the very low standards of totp.

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I taped this off the radio without realizing who it is. Absolutely love it. As I have noted numerous times, my vinyl copy of the first album was signed by Joe when a mate of mine, returning my LP after he'd borrowed it, bumped into Joe on Fulham Broadway in 1977. He then spent quite some time trying to buy it off me.

This is more like cut the crap should have sounded like, all tracks have been re recorded and it sound so much more like the clash mark 2 sounded like live. This song lyrically is up there with the best clash songs.

The whole lip is now on you tube




Patriots of the wasteland torching two hundred years
Dragging my spirit back into the dungeon again
Bring back crucification cry the moral death's head legion
Using steel nails manufactured by the slaves in Asia
You won't fall for that law and order is a baton in the rib
You won't fall for that just like your mummy and your daddy did
Blood inside a fountain pen wrote you out of life again
Who knows any better than to kick and scratch under English weather
From a chain gang to the mill.
The mill that sits on top of the hill
The fog drowned towns arr gonna have to fade
The wrong side of the a scissor blade
You won't fall for that law and order is a baton in the rib
You won't fall for that just like your mummy and your daddy did
I'll eat my hat I'm gonna be sick
They own the pack while we play the three card trick
Don't you remember the place
Where we hid the ace?
Yeah not thick but slick
Now we all gotta play the three card trick
